Governance

How our school is managed

The Cape Town French School is an Independent Non-Profit Organization (NPO) that complies with South African operating rules. There are two governing bodies in the school:

The Management Committee in compliance with South African law and the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE).

The School Committee with the assistance of AEFE.

The Management Committee

Members of the Management Committee are elected by the parents at one of the biannual General Meetings of the Association of Parents (APEC). The Management Committee represents parents and manages the school on their behalf. Members are volunteers who devote their time and energy to the school management. The Management Committee members meet formally once a month.

The Internal Committee represents the entire institution from Pre-Primary to High School and is responsible for all aspects of education, in compliance with the AEFE standards and the budgetary framework of the Management Committee. It acts as a consultant on all aspects of school life, such as:

The operating life of the school, health and hygiene, the canteen, security and any improvements deemed necessary in these areas

The use of financial resources in the budget
